Meh. Okay.

It should probably be a leveled trait, with a note you cannot have more levels than you have levels of talent. It also has the issues that you need to “cast” it (using a maneuver), it can help enemies, and it continues to work for some time after those affected leave the area of effect. Those affected not needing to roll to get the benefit (as a beneficial affliction, normally they’d need to pass an HT+1 check to benefit), the aura not needing to be “cast,” and it only working on those who stay within the area of effect can probably all be considered to be a wash, but avoiding affecting enemies calls for Selective Area +20%. This would put level 1 at [20] (after rounding up from [19.5]), and each additional level would be [+2].

I think I'll go with the Aura of Power build from Enhancements and make it a leveled advantage.

Being unhorsed is prevented by Riding and Acrobatics rolls, the former is already covered by the talent so I'd leave it at that. The latter could be covered by incorporating into the talent, like this.

If I may suggest, I'd add something like "Providence" in the form of Destiny granting points to spend on impulse buys. A valiant knight that jumped in front of an innocent to guard them from harm might be fatally struck... or it seemed so until he raises no worse for the wear and quickly dispatches the evildoers (on boring terms, he used sacrificial dodge and failed the roll, but spend destiny point on Flesh Wound).

That's a good idea, but I don't know if I want to incorporate Impulse Points into the campaign. I'll think about it.

Interesting. I'll think about it.
